History of Golf

Golf originated in Scotland more than 500 years ago. Most of the early records on golf are Scottish official records to ban it or to criticize those who played it (Clark, 1875).

It is believed that shepherds tending flocks of sheep near St. Andrews started golf; by hitting stones into rabbit holes with their wooden crooks when they got bored (Browning, 1955).
